First Shift is the period of hours starting at the 1st Shift Start time and ending after the specified
number of hours in the shift. Second shift follows immediately after the first shift and ends after
the specified number of hours. Third shift is immediately after the second shift; it ends after the
specified number of hours.
For example, if you specify a shift start of 7:00:00 AM, a first shift length of 8 hours, a second shift
length of 8 hours, and a third shift length of 4 hours, first shift is 7:00 AM to 3:00 PM, second shift
is 3:00 PM to 11:00 PM, and third shift begins at 11:00 PM and runs until 3:00 AM.

Use the check boxes to define scheduling parameters. The selections you make apply to all
schedules for the site. Select one or more of these options:
Treat All Release Dates as Hard in All Schedules
– To schedule all work orders based on their
hard release dates, select this check box. If you select this check box, the Concurrent Scheduler
schedules no activity on any work orders in any schedule before the work order’s hard release
date, which you specify when you create the work order. If you select this check box, the Treat
release date as hard check box on individual work orders is not available.
To decide whether to treat the release date as hard on a work order by work order basis, clear this
check box. When you clear this check box, the Treat release date as hard check box becomes
available on individual work orders. If you clear the Treat release date as hard check box on an
individual work order, the release date is disregarded, and the work order is scheduled as time
and materials allow.
Use All Supply Before Applying Lead-time in Material Checks
– To consider material supply
beyond work orders’ required dates, select this check box. When you select this check box, the
scheduler ignores a work order’s required date when locating material supply. When sufficient
supply is located, the work order is scheduled. If sufficient supply cannot be located, then the
material’s lead time is used to determine when the work order can be scheduled.
If you select this check box, then all parts in the site will use all supply before applying lead time.
You cannot override the setting on the part record.
To consider material supply only up to the work order’s required date, clear this check box. When
you clear this check box, the scheduler does not look beyond the required date for supply when
there is insufficient supply at the required date. In this case, it applies the part’s or requirement’s
lead time to determine if sufficient supply can be
obtained by the required date, or to determine
w
hen it can obtain sufficient supply.
If you clear the check box in Site Maintenance, you can specify on a part-by-part basis which
setting to use. In Part Maintenance, use the Supply Before Leadtime check box specify whether
or not to use the work order’s required date when assessing supply.
The Concurrent Scheduler considers purchase orders, purchase order delivery schedules,
Coproducts, work orders, and, if netting planned orders, planned orders, as supply.
Use Global Calendar and Exceptions for Fabricated Parts
– To take calendar exceptions into
account when calculating availability dates for your fabricated parts, select this check box. By
using this setting you can specify the dates you do not want to use in calculations. Clear the
check box to ignore calendar exceptions.
Use Global Calendar and Exceptions for Release Dates
– To take calendar exceptions into
account when calculating release dates, select this check box. By using this setting you can
specify the dates you do not want to use in calculations. Clear the check box to ignore calendar
exceptions.
